Rosy-faced Lovebird (Agapornis roseicollis)

The Rosy-faced Lovebird (Agapornis roseicollis), also known as the Rosy-collared or Peach-faced Lovebird, is a species of lovebird native to arid regions in southwestern Africa such as the Namib Desert. A loud and constant chirper, these birds are very social animals and often congregate in small groups in the wild.

There was a small flock along the Kunene River.

This one was seen at Oppi-Koppi Rest Camp in Kamanjab.

Spectacular in flight!

 

They have a specific range from Angola through Namibia and into the Kgalagadi NP in South Africa.  There are reports of them in Etosha NP and I personally saw them in Kamanjab, Kunene River and Omaruru.
